Albedos for 57 asteroids were determined using diameters obtained from stellar occultations. For 18 objects, the occultation albedos were determined to accuracies better than 5%. The effect on the occultation albedo due to errors in the asteroid absolute magnitude is discussed and correlations between the occultation albedos and IRAS and polarimetric albedos are presented. The higher-quality occultation albedos presented here are suitable for calibrating albedos obtained by indirect methods. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
